Information is power. But how do we adapt now that most of the information we consume comes with a heavy bias?
In an ironic twist of fate, it’s Wikipedia — the encyclopedia that anyone can edit — that has done one of the best jobs maintaining public trust in our polarized era.

This…is A Bit of Optimism.
